I used to get really bad, recurrent tonsillitis in my early 20s
and was about to have my tonsils out when it all stopped. I used to just use ibuprofen, salt water gargles and Soothers and that was enough. this time it's not helping. *mutter grumble*

it's painful, but I felt about a million times better for it. I only realised quite how run down it was making me, when I recovered from the op and realised that for the first time in about a year I didn't have a sore throat.

was shortly after it all suddenly cleared up (with a rather attractive Antonio Banderas-lookey-likey doctor, complete with accent who had my mum practically drooling) so the doctor wouldn't take them out. I wasn't keen on the idea anyway
